Centre-back Neven Subotic, who has made just two Bundesliga appearances under Thomas Tuchel, had been linked with a move to Liverpool but, while Zorc said "in certain cases" there could yet be further exits, he stressed that there is "nothing planned."

Belgium international Januzaj featured in only 12 matches in all competitions, with his three starts all coming in the Europa League games, and registered three assists but no goals.

Zorc, who was speaking reporters prior to the club's departure to their winter training camp in Dubai, said: "I have to say that it wasn't necessarily satisfying for both sides, and that's why we obliged [in cutting short the loan]."
